CLL/NZSA Research Grants - now open for applications

One of the grants, for either fiction or non-fiction, will be for a fellowship at the Stout Centre in Wellington. This grant will offer a study at the Stout Research Centre for up to three months, access to VUW facilities (Internet, printers, library, secretarial services, photocopying and the kitchen), as well as the $3,500 award.

The other research grant, also for $3,500 and for either fiction or non-fiction, is open. It will be awarded to a project-based application where the applicant specifies where the research is to take place.

In 2010 Bradford Haami received the open grant for his project on whale traditions of the Maori. Rebecca Priestley was the recipient of the Stout grant for research towards The Awa Book of Antarctic Science.

Closing date is 1st July. For an application form please contact NZSA National Office: programmes@nzauthors.org.nz
